Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge tented accommodation

Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge — raised tents with wide seronera views

Eco-minded camp in central Serengeti with raised wooden-deck tents

1 / 5

Kubu Kubu is Tanganyika Wilderness Camps' newest permanent tented lodge in central serengeti, sited to give guests rapid access to the full range of the park — from seronera and the kopjes to western and southern corridors when required. The camp's terraces and raised platforms are arranged to put the plains and riverine vegetation at the centre of the stay, so sunrise and moving wildlife become part of the tented room experience.

Overview

Raised Tents with Wide Seronera Views

The camp reads as contemporary campaign-style safari: 25 raised canvas tents on wooden decks, clean-lined public areas with a main dining / lounge terrace and a small pool. Interiors favour light, bright fabrics and practical luxury — en-suite facilities, outside showers and private verandahs that invite wildlife watching from your tent. The scale and layout suit wildlife-first travellers: couples, photographers, families (interconnected/family tents available) and anyone building a migration-focused itinerary.

The kitchen caters for dietary requirements with advance notice.

Practical Information

Location & Access

Kubu Kubu is located in central serengeti close to the seronera river system and kopje country — a flexible base from which guides can reach moru, makoma and wider plains circuits. The camp lists seronera airstrip as the nearest main strip (approximate driving transfer) and gives road access distances from arusha for overland transfers.
